Wondering if anyone can shed any light on my problem :
I use PI daily for work, adding in (future) clients to visit for the week, but one problem i have is not having a field to add the clients telephone number in the appointments field.
As these are possible future clients, i have no need yet to add them to contacts to retrieve there number, so basically what i am asking is, is there a field to add a telephone number in the appointment secton, or am I forced to add them to contacts first ?
TIA
Any contacts needed for that appointment which are not in your contacts.... I just tend to add the contact in the notes tab for that appointment. If then that contact is needed, then I add them to my contacts.
Is another alternative to create a contacts category "potential clients" or similar as then you can filter them from your normal view of contacts if you wish?

When I categorize my Outlook contacts on my phone, either via business or some other category I have one problem.
I can filter by category, but after I close down "contacts" all the filtering goes away, because when I open up contacts again, ALL my contacts are shown. I just want one specific category to be shown as default.
Is there a solution to this?
Hi,
A friend of mine has an 8125 and he can dial directly from Outlook (Calendar, Tasks, Email). Outlook for some reasons interprets numbers as telephone number and underlines it, so he can click on it and dial the number directly. On my 8525 I see this capability in emails, but not in calendar, where I really needed it. Whenever I have a phone number in a calendar appointment or task its not underlined and I have to copy and paste it into the phone application. Very cumbersome.
Is there a setting on the phone that automatically interprets the numbers in the calendar and underlines it for direct dial out capbilities, or is that something that needs to be setup on the Outlook server?
BTW this applies to appointments made on the laptop as well as on the phone.
Thanks for any help.
in the appointment's note: tel:xxx-xxxxxxx
It'll work.
Nope. Doesn't work.
It is strange that all numbers in emails are automatically interpreted as phone numbers and are underlined for direct dial out, but appointments don't.

I received a text message from my mates new number. The number isn't in my contacts so I want to create one. I click on the number and it says
"this number isn't in your contacts etc etc would you like to create a new one"
so I click yes, then the list of contact appear. I click new contact, and it asks me for outlook contact or sim contact.
I don't use outlook to sync my contacts, and SIM contact doesn't give me all the information (SIM is just a name and number).
so how do I select to save the number to my phone, where I can add all the other relevant information (ringtone, phone number type etc etc)?
thanks
You should save as an Outlook contact, as Pocket Outlook is the default adress register on Windows Mobile devices.
It doesn't matter if you use Outlook on your PC or not...
perhaps but the options presented to me are the same...well..almost...firname last name number....why doesn't it give me the option to supply any other details? ?I have to save it, then go back into it to add any other information.
just annoying is all
why don't u just go to contacts, click on the profile u want to update and when they're details come up, click on menu > edit.
this should take you to a full list of details
because I'm talking about adding a new contact, not updating an existing one
I cant seem to save a new contact, no matter which way i save it either by adding contacts from a new phone call or entering a new contact, when I first save it, all the previous call numbers from that contact change to the contacts name then within a few minutes it reverts back again and if i search for the new contact it has disappeared.
any help would be appreciated.
Im using the generic contact address book
Did you have the right sync groups selected? when creating a contact you can assign the contact to group. If this group is not synced this will not shown as a new contact on your phone. When the contact is not assigned to group you must select "sync all contacts". this will include also your mail-contacts from google.
guys
when one creates a new contact, it automatically links to two profiles by default - phone contacts and google
Is it possible to create a new contact and link it to Outlook rather so that it shows up in my corporate email address book too?
My sync for corporate email is turned on and when I create a new contact in outlook, it shows up on my phone but the reverse does not work
Thanks
